Local Juvenile Center Could Close

The Cattaraugus Resident Center in Limestone and the Great Valley Residential Center are two of the casualties in Governor David Paterson's budget proposal.

In the proposal unveiled this morning, Paterson also said aid to public schools will be cut by $700 million, state university tuition will go up and state workers who aren't laid off will get no pay raises.

The proposal also calls for re-instating the sales tax on clothing as well as taxing satellite television and radio users. It also calls for higher taxes on beer and wine and a new state fee for people who write bad checks. Auto registration and license fees would also increase.
